Naked and Raw

They lie there on the page;
naked and raw
No matter how hard I try to hide them
they scream my silent thoughts.
I've tried to drown them in ink many times
but, they always materialise upon the paper
their sighs ring in my ears
their sharp edges pierce my soul.
I hear them breathe
I hear them cry
They try to protest their innocence 
but they have changed the course
of my chapter.
I am powerless to their rhythm
I am a prisoner of their spell
Just three tiny words.....
....I love you...
